Bath Company Gets Contract To Finish Stefko Blvd. Project

City Purchasing Director Ellery Royal said Ciccone won the contract with a bid of $164,348, only about $200 less than that of Eastern Industries, Lower Macungie Township. City engineer Gary Falasca said the city expects to have the job done this year.

Stefko was upgraded from the new Minsi Trail Bridge to Broad Street during the bridge construction, and the rehabilitation from Broad to Washington Avenue is currently under way.

City Council's Finance Committee yesterday recommended the transfer of $50,000 from various accounts into the Stefko project to accommodate the work. The account currently contains $120,000.

In other action, the committee recommended approval of transfers for Saucon Park street projects and other community development projects, as well as a $5,000 transfer to cover an out-of-court settlement on a police brutality lawsuit against the city and police department.

The panel also approved the exoneration of $28,442 in unpaid ambulance invoices from 1980 and 1981.
